[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

I refuse to support a law that effectively institutionalizes political dynasties!

I vote NO to House Bill No. 8389 or the “Anti-Political Dynasty Act.”

HB 8389 is not a true or genuine anti-dynasty law, but rather a dynasty legitimization act.

First: The bill has no succession ban. A governor can be succeeded by a spouse, who can be succeeded by a child, who can be succeeded by a sibling – indefinitely, legally, under this bill. 

Second: The bill permits a governor, a mayor, and a Representative from the same family governing the same province simultaneously, as it only prohibits relatives from holding office within the same level of government, not within the same territory. 

Third: The bill permits multiple congressional districts controlled by one family within the same province. Three adjacent districts, three relatives, all voting for the same party line: legal. Exactly as it operates today. Nothing changes.

Fourth: The bill neither covers party-list representatives as protected positions nor references incumbents. Therefore, a senator's son or daughter can be nominated and serve as a party-list representative – perfectly legal under this bill

Fifth: The bill limits the prohibition to relatives within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity, covering spouses, parents, children, and siblings. However, this second-degree prohibition excludes broader kinship networks, such as grandparents, first cousins, uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews, through which dynastic power is often exercised. Limiting the prohibition to only the second degree narrows the reach of the law and allows extended family networks, which remain close-knit in Philippine culture, to continue operating within the same political sphere.

Sixth: The bill does not address, hence, permits substitution, caretaker designation, and every indirect route to office. The prohibition under this bill covers only direct candidacy, not the back doors.

The Filipino people have been waiting for this law since 1987. Tatlumpu't siyam na taon. 

We can do better than this. We can pass a law worthy of the wait. A law the framers of the 1987 Constitution would recognize as the fulfillment of their mandate, not a betrayal of it.

I vote NO to HB 8389, not because I oppose anti-dynasty legislation. I vote NO precisely because I support it. I refuse to support a law that effectively institutionalizes political dynasties.

The Filipino people deserve better. The Constitution demands better. We can do better.

Bakit tayo nag-NO sa Anti-Political Dynasty Bill? Dahil ang totoo, ito ay isang Pro-Dynasty Bill.

Under this measure, one clan can hold positions across multiple levels of government. Therefore, concentration of power still remains in the hands of a few families. Kung sila ang mga nakaupo sa taas, at sila rin ang mga nakaupo sa baba,
pwede pa ring magkampihan, magtulungan, at mag-protektahan.

Pwede pa ring magbaba ng kontrata at proyekto ang isang Senador at isang Congressman para sa kapatid nilang Governor. Pwede pa ring gamitin ng isang Governor ang kapitolyo para harangin at ipitin ang kalaban ng mga anak niyang tumatakbong Mayor sa magkatabing siyudad. At pwede pa ring gamitin ng isang Pangulo ang buong puwersa ng gobyerno para pagtakpan ang mga anomalya ng pinsan niyang Kongresista.

Hindi rin sakop ng panukala ang party-list. Kaya maaari pa ring maging District Representative si mister, habang si misis naman ay nakaupo sa tabi niya bilang Party-list Representative.

Ang tanong: Nasaan ang pagbabago? Hindi nito winawakasan ang paghahari ng mga dinastiya, kundi ginawa pa itong legal at bahagi ng sistema.

O, hindi porke't umatend si Chiz kaya nagkaroon ng quorum ang Senate, ligtas na siya sa flood control scam ha. Kung may warrant, ikulong din 'yan. Ganun dapat.

Aysus! Kahit ako pa mag-check up diyan. Puntahan ko yan araw-araw sa kulungan. Para lang siguraduhin na ma-normalize ang BP niyan. Apacadali na gamutin ng Hypertension ngayon. Masinsinang daily monitoring lang ng BP ang katapat niyan pati regular intake ng medication. Uulitin ko, kahit sinong duktor, kaya puntahan yan araw-araw sa kulungan. Wag ka nga Bonoan! Presenta ko na sarili ko. Hindi ako maniningil. Alang alang sa accountability. Jusmio! Utang na loob! Hospital arrest na naman!

Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.

This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…

Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.

Get out of your bubble. Please.

@sheergrace There should be sequestration of their assets.
